🇨🇦 This looks great as a headline but there are too many issues like: It's on government land, so who will own it after sale?

"community with schools, child care and supports that families need"

1430 homes plus the aforementioned services while using only 300 million?
Am I missing something, if not this is impossible

I’ve spoken with my boss (he’s a bit of a dickhead but his heart’s in the right place) and confirmed that I won’t be getting fired for opposing Israel’s ongoing genocide and supporting the human rights of the Palestinian people to live with freedom and dignity like the rest of us but not everyone is as lucky.

Pro-Palestinian influencer Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj fired following Zionist smear campaign

Dr. Nahla Al-Sarraj gained hundreds of thousands of social media followers by discussing the Gaza genocide. She was fired after a pressure campaign from Israel lobby groups that she believes aimed to silence her. Despite this, she remains unbowed.

Taken from my balcony (it's not fair I know) during the nightly migration of crows from West Vancouver, East, to Burnaby. A fun and daily event to enjoy at sunset.

Since it's snowing in #Edmonton, I would like to make everybody aware of our snow plow tracker. Yes, we name our snow plows, and yes, they're delightful.

(Currently, having a little laugh over "Edward Blizzard Hands" 😅)

's apt and dreamy call to arms:

We could be a disenshittification nation. We could seize the means of computation. We could have a new, good internet that respects our privacy and our wallets. We could make a goddamned fortune doing it.

It turns out that a lot of "impossible" things are really just fights you'd rather not have.

This article really takes a hammer to the BS from conservative think tanks, the UCP and the like who denigrate public education. Well done McGill OSS.

The False Economy of Education Cuts

Why This Matters (Even If You Don’t Live There) A public education system is the scaffolding of any democracy. It’s where young citizens learn not only arithmetic and grammar, but curiosity, empathy, and the habits of coexistence.
